The DigiGuardian. Digimon Frontier.

Don't own Digimon.


-Chapter Nine, Grumblemon, So we meets again.

Katrina Ichijouji isn't a normal DigiDestined like the other five. She is troubled by that fact and goes along alone whenever she can. But when the time comes that she needs help, will she ask for it?


Katrina awoke to Kouji setting off in the dark. She frowned at his disappearing back and then around her. She took a deep breath and stood up. She grabbed her hoodie from where her head had been resting and hurried after him. Kouji glanced at her as she settled in pace next to him. He looked forwards again and the two walked in silence.

''Kouji?'' Katrina said softly.

''What?'' he murmured not looking at her.

Katrina said silent for a moment, ''Nothing.'' she sighed and they continued walking. For what seemed an hour they walked in silence. Katrina glanced at Kouji and their eyes met for a moment when Kouji looked back in front of him again sharply. Katrina let out a low sigh and followed him down a hill.

They paused at a lake and Katrina knelt down to gaze at her reflection in the water. She glared at it. Her face, what used to be pale had caught a slight tan and her dark curls had grown slightly longer and were all tangled.

''I'd murder for a brush.'' she muttered as she ran her hands through the mess of curls. Her golden coloured eyes glittered slightly in the reflection of water and she brushed her fingertips over the bulge that was her Digivice in her pocket.

''Katrina?'' Kouji spoke softly. She glanced at him.

''Mmm?'' she murmured.

There was a silence for a moment, ''Nothing..'' Kouji sighed and got up.

''It isn't nothing. What?'' Katrina asked.

''Your.. D-Tector..'' Kouji started.

''It isn't a D-Tector.'' Katrina interrupted him sharply.

''Then what is it?'' Kouji asked annoyed.

''It's a Digivice.'' Katrina looked back at the water.

''Why have you got a Digivice and me and the others have a D-Tector?'' Kouji questioned.

''Because you guys are lame.'' Katrina bit and stood up.

''Stop acting as if you own the world!'' Kouji exclaimed.

''You are one to say.'' Katrina replied angrily.

''Yes. I am one to say,'' Kouji snapped and glanced up at the tree on top of the hill they had come down, ''Stop following us!'' he yelled at the trees.

''Now you figure out they are following us.'' Katrina rolled her eyes as Kouji shot her a dark look. He got up and started running towards long grass as Neemon and Bokomon appeared. Katrina shot them a glare and ran after Kouji.

She passed him and stopped abruptly at the edge of the cliff they had apparently been on.

''I wasn't finished with you.'' Kouji started to her.

''Shame. Cause I was finished with you.'' Katrina lied bluntly.

''Why are you acting like this!'' Kouji exclaimed.

''What! As if you are the only one to act like you are better then everyone else. Now let me tell you something Kouji Minamoto! You don't own the world, in fact you don't even deserve to act like this in this world! You know nothing! Nothing at all!'' Katrina snarled.

'"Then tell me! Stop keeping secrets from me that I should know! Who the fuck are you Katrina! And why do I know you!'' Kouji yelled as Neemon and Bokomon came tumbling through the long grass and crashed into Kouji.

Kouji shouted out as Bokomon and Neemon jumped on his shoulders, making him loose his balance and push Katrina off the cliff, tumbling after her.

Katrina slid down the cliff and flew through the air landing on her back. The air got knocked out of her and she gasped for breath. Behind her Kouji knocked into a rock-Digimon.

''What is that?'' Neemon asked Bokomon behind Kouji, gesturing at the rock-Digimon who was glaring at Kouji who returned the glare.

''A Gotsumon, they're living rocks, but they are basically kids, and can be real trouble makers. Let me tell you.'' Bokomon said.

''Oh god, kill me now.'' Katrina groaned as she turned over on her stomach and leant on her elbows to glare at Kouji and Gotsumon.

''What do you want?'' Kouji asked Gotsumon.

''Nothing. What do you guys want?'' Gotsumon replied.

''Nothing. Why do you care?'' Kouji replied sharply.

''Well. If you are not going to ask. Then I will,'' Bokomon huffed, ''Can you tell us how to get to the Forest-Terminal?'' Bokomon asked Gotsumon. Katrina's elbows slid out from underneath her and she slammed her head on the ground.

'THE IDIOTS! I KNOW THE FREAKING WAY!' She yelled inside of her.

''Yeah, I could tell you… but I'm not gonna.'' Gotsumon said in a sing-song voice can ran off.

''Follow him! Come on! Chop, chop!'' Bokomon ordered.

''Don't tell me what to do!'' Kouji growled and ran after Gotsumon.

''But he knows something.'' Bokomon said as he, Kouji and Neemon ran after the Gotsumon.

Katrina groaned in the earth, still trying to catch her breath, ''Yeah. I'm fine. Catch up with you guys later.'' she muttered and slowly heaved herself up.

''Katrina!'' Kouji yelled from a distance.

''Fine. Fine.'' Katrina grumbled and got up. She skipped into a sprint and ran after the two Digimon and Kouji who were following Gotsumon.

'Katrina,' a voice spoke and she froze, 'Katrina. Can you hear me? Please answer. This is taking a lot of energy.'

'Seraphimon?' Katrina asked shocked.

'Yes. Hurry. Get the kids here. Time is precious. We must not waste it.'

'But- you-'

'Hurry..'

Katrina's eyes widened. Her feet were nailed to the ground and she couldn't move. How the hell did Seraphimon managed to contact her. He was supposed to be-

''Aha! Another little brat!'' a voice exclaimed in glee behind her. Katrina slowly unfroze and turned around, ''Oh.. Well.. Not just another brat. Me does not like this brat.''

''Grumblemon.'' Katrina hissed.

''Grumblemon,'' the Legendary Warrior mocked, ''So we meets again.''

''Yes. Again.'' Katrina snarled. Grumblemon glanced around and then returned his gaze to Katrina with a wide smirk.

''Me sees you do not have any help this time. All alone. How sad.'' Grumblemon mocked and took a step forwards. Katrina took a step back, glaring daggers at him.

''I don't need help to defeat you.'' she snarled.

''Oh really? Me thinks different. Me knows that you are not a Legendary Warrior. You have no important data for me. But that does not stop me from destroying you.'' Grumblemon sneered.

''Go right ahead, Grumblemon. What you planning on doing? Blow your nose at me?'' Katrina snarled mockingly.

''Oh… but me is not allowed to destroy you. Very much a shame,'' Grumblemon informed her, ''Me has to take you with me. You are wanted, Katrina.''

Katrina stared at him in shock.


''You said it!'' he answered and began to ride away. ''Oh and you, you're wanted.'' he added to Katrina as he passed her. She narrowed her eyes.

''Of course I am. I'm going already. I'm the one that got kicked out.'' she replied.

''Not by them, by them.'' Trailmon said as if that made complete sense.

''Hey! HEY!'' Katrina yelled at Trailmon. ''Get back here!''

Trailmon didn't answer and soon he was gone in a cloud of steam.


''Wanted?'' Katrina repeated confused.

''Yes. You is wanted. So all me has to do is-'' Grumblemon broke off and lunged towards Katrina who turned on her heel and sprinted towards the direction Kouji, Neemon and Bokomon had gone in, ''Don't think you can outrun me Katrina! Me is faster!'' Grumblemon cackled in glee.

Katrina sprinted for her life. She was wanted. Not by them. But by them. And that was no good sign. Katrina took a sharp turn and her feet soon hit rock. She sprinted over the rocky ground and dodged the rocks. She could hear Grumblemon, but when she turned to glance over her shoulder she couldn't seem him and jumped behind a rock pillar.

''Damn, damn, damn.'' she hissed to herself, gasping for breath.

''Slide Evolution!'' Grumblemon yelled from behind her somewhere, ''Gigasmon!''

Katrina clenched her fists. She was completely defenceless now.

''Come out, come out where ever you are!'' Gigasmon called, ''You can run but you can't hide. Me shall find you!''

A loud crash was heard a dust rose up behind the rock pillar Katrina was hiding. Katrina stifled a yelp as rocks right behind her got smashed into smithereens and she started sprinting again.

''There you is! I shall get you!'' Gigasmon exclaimed in glee. Katrina jumped over a slit in the rock ground and glanced down. It was like a chasm, but then not deep. But deep enough to hide out in.

The next slit she saw, Katrina slid down, hoping that Kouji was somewhere nearby so he could lure him away.

'I am not planning on being some bunny-food anytime soon.' Katrina thought in rage. Footsteps was heard above her and they paused.

''Me senses Spirit,'' Gigasmon exclaimed suddenly, ''Me wants Spirit! Where is Spirit!'' he shouted.

'Kouji.' the name flashed through Katrina's mind automatically. Dust rose up above her as Gigasmon continued smashing rocks shouting out that he wanted 'Spirit'.

Katrina heard screams and above her Gotsumon were jumping over the chasm she was in, running away from Gigasmon.

''Slide Evolution! Grumblemon! Where is Spirit!'' Gigasmon exclaimed, de-digivolving back into Grumblemon.

''Execute! Spirit Evolution! Lobomon!'' a voice yelled and Katrina scrambled out of the chasm to see Lobomon jumping towards her.

''Found you!'' a voice chanted behind her and Katrina spun around to face Grumblemon, ''Now there is no hiding!''

She got her Digivice out and gripped it in her hand tightly. She felt useless.

''Hah!'' Grumblemon laughed loudly, ''You feel useless right now! Me bets that!''

''Shut it, Grumblemon.'' Katrina snarled.

''Where is your partner now? Oh I remember he-''

''LOBO KENDO!'' Lobomon shouted from behind them and Grumblemon leapt back to avoid the attack, ''Katrina! Are you alright?'' Lobomon asked.

''Fine. Just peachy.'' Katrina said through gritted teeth.

''Katty is useless. Katty is useless. Katty is useless.'' Grumblemon chanted in a sing-song voice.

''Lobo Kendo!'' Lobomon yelled again and Grumblemon danced out of his reach.''Doggy and Katty. Such a cute pair. Such a shame doggy is going bye-bye and Katty is going with me. Slide Evolution!'' Grumblemon shouted, ''Gigasmon!''

''Katrina, get back!'' Lobomon ordered and held out an arm. Katrina shot a glare at him as Gigasmon punched the ground and it started shaking. Her legs gave way from underneath her and she dropped to the ground with a Gotsumon from earlier came rushing passed her and she grabbed it by its arm. Katrina pulled him back sharply.

''What the hell do you think you are doing?'' she snarled.

''Help- my family-'' the Gotsumon whined in fear.

''You'll get squashed into a rock cake, idiot.'' Katrina snapped. Her eyes widened as Gigasmon slammed his fists into the ground again and she rolled over into a chasm, pulling Gotsumon with her.''Let go!'' Gotsumon complained.

''No! What the hell are you trying to do?'' Katrina exclaimed.

''I'm looking for a gem, to help my family and friends.'' Gotsumon explained with a huff.

''What- like that one?'' Katrina pointed at a red gem, stuck in between some rocks.

''Yes! That gem!'' Gotsumon cried out in excitement. He scrambled towards it as the ground shook again and more rocks came tumbling down.

''Gotsumon!'' Katrina cried out as a vision blurred her eyesight. She leapt towards the Digimon and covered his body with her own. Getting lost in the vision. The memory.


''We're almost there!'' he cried out in joy.

''Thank god. I can't feel my arms anymore.'' Katrina complained.

''No worries, Kat. Soon you'll be able to rest.'' the boy joked.

''It's hot, Kouji.'' Katrina whined.

''Fine. If I give you my bandana. Will you climb faster then?'' he sighed.

''Yes,'' Katrina grinned broadly. Kouji took his bandana off of his head and passed it over to Katrina who tied it around her head, ''How do I look?'' she said happily.

''Very cute, come on,'' Kouji grinned back and started climbing again. Katrina blushed, crimson spreading over her cheeks. Kouji paused and glanced down, ''Kat? Are you coming?''

Katrina's jaw dropped, ''Kouji! Watch out!'' she yelled as rocks came tumbling down. Kouji's head snapped back up and he lost his grip on the cliff.

''Katrina!'' he yelled as he also lost his footing.

''Kouji!'' Katrina screamed.


A/N:

Wajoooooo. Conjo! I think I died! No I didn't really and I almost killed myself when I found the thing out that was stopping me from putting up another chapter.

I posted the last two chapters up and SOMEHOW I didn't get any mails in my inbox that people reviewed! So here I was thinking all my reviewers died or dropped off of the end of the world.

So I didn't continuing writing. I started another Digimon story (okay I admit! Stop hitting me over my head with your goggles Davis!) I wrote a FEW new Digimon stories. One with the DigiDestined's kids and one concerning season 0102 when the D-Reaper was attacking season 03. Another TaichixOCxYamato a few OCxRyo an OcxKen blabla you get the drift. But I'm blabbing right now ain't I..

Well anyway, I have internet on my phone for a month and I was on fanfic and saw that my story suddenly had loads of reviews so I clicked on the reviews and saw that I even had NEW reviewers..

Anyway.. I'm on a warpath right now cause in two chapters LOADS of Katrina's secrets are revealed! Yay! Finally! Now to the reviewers:

Just Wait And See: I think I've answered this before, but your review about Seraphimon being Katrina's partner really made my jaw drop. Anyway.. NOT TELLING.

Dragon of Yin and Yang: Oh.. You're not a member. Shame! You should seriously make an account on fanfic JJ but it was really just a warning for all those people who will flame me for swearing.. I mean, Katrina, Kouji, Takuya ect. I pushed up their ages and kids of 15/16 swear.. Swear a lot in my case. Come on, teenagers! Hormones! So yeahh. Thanks for reviewing! Hope you like the new chapters coming up J

Just Wait And See: Yeah I defiantly answered the review before, but that idea just plopped into my head and especially for a chapter coming up (you might guess which episode. Devimon.. A Digimon related to him.. There are even hints in chapter eight) Devimon is perfect. Though Devimon won't be making another appearance for a while..

Marina Rose: Awww I hate it when my internet gets cut off! That totally sucks, anyway thanks for the review and about your email, I tried mailing you, but it came back.. Only I mailed you on my phone on hotmail so I'll try again later on my lappie. I know! Takuya was so sweet when he apologized, by Takuya and Katrina will get their 'big moment' very soon. I have BIG BIG BIG plans for those two. Muwahahaha.

Crystal-Wolf-Guardian-967: Thanks for the review! There will be two more chapters coming up real quick

lightwolfheart: Aww, thanks! Kouji can be REAL stubborn. So can Katrina.. Lol, thanks a lot for the review! Sorry for the long wait!

Whoa. Those were the reviews and they made me reallll happy!

Preview Chapter Ten, The first Beast Spirit:

''Katrina! Are you alright?'' Zoe shouted as the other Legendary Warriors, Neemon and Bokomon ran towards them.

''Sure.. Fine.. As.. Long as.. I.. don't..,'' Katrina paused and grimaced in pain, ''Breathe.''

''What happened?'' Kouji asked sharply.''I think.. I broke a rib..'' Katrina winced as she tried to get up.
